Gel Polish Removal and Re-Application

Gel Polish Removal and Re-Application, what is included

This appointment is designed to take you from old gel to a fresh, even finish in one visit.

• Quick check of your current gel, any lifting, and nail condition before we start
• Gentle removal of existing gel, aiming to protect the natural nail underneath
• Nail shaping and length tidy, keeping the result practical for day to day
• Cuticle work to help the new gel sit smoothly and look cleaner for longer
• Fresh gel colour application with a glossy top coat
• Finished with a light oil or moisturiser to rehydrate the skin around the nails

When gel removal and re-application is the best option

• Your gel has grown out and you want the cuticle area looking neat again
• You have lifting or catching at the edges and want it safely removed
• You want a full colour change rather than painting over existing gel
• You have an event coming up and want a clean, glossy finish
• You want a regular reset that fits a busy schedule

How your removal and re-apply appointment runs

We start by assessing the existing gel, then remove it in a controlled way rather than peeling or picking. Once the old product is off, we refine the shape, tidy the cuticles, and prep the nail so the new gel applies evenly. Your chosen colour is applied in thin, smooth layers, then sealed with top coat for shine.

Looking after your gel at home, so it stays looking tidy

Use cuticle oil little and often, especially after washing up or using hand sanitiser. Avoid picking at lifting edges, it can take layers of natural nail with it. If you notice chips or lifting, it is usually best to book in for a tidy up or removal rather than trying to fix it at home.
